PART I INTRODUCTION

1.1 Why choosing this topic

In today's globalization trend, the importance of English is undeniable, as

it is the most used language in the world Along with the development in almost all areas such as technology , medicine, technology and education It is said that adding a foreign language means that you have lived a new life or that a new foreign language will make you live younger than the loss of your age Because when learning and understanding English, you will know more about the culture of the country as well as the people here And learning English also brings the following benefits

Learning English is to develop yourself and relationships English gives you many opportunities to get to know and interact with friends all over the world Promoting career advancement English is the first key for you to step into international companies You can have the opportunity to work with foreign companies with a salary commensurate with the capabilities of friend Help you

be active in the social environment, communicate confidently and always want

to explore the cultures of the countries in the world Learning English is also an important condition for you to have access to updated knowledge sources from around the world

For Vietnam, a country in front of the development era, expanding the way to globalization, the study of English among students, future generations of the country, the more English learning becomes It is more important than ever Understanding that, Vietnam's education generation has put English as a compulsory subject at the school from the primary level throughout the country English is also a compulsory subject at all levels

So there are many students who love and try to learn English well But in reality, I found that the students of To Hien Thanh High School where I was teaching had very low input quality in English with very little vocabulary, and the grammar was not so good study process In the course of directly teaching English for students of grade 11 of To Hien Thanh high school, while teaching and studying students, I found that the ability of students to learn is still very limited weakly using traditional memory methods, this is a learning formula for the left brain, it does not take advantage of the right brain function and therefore does not optimize the brain power of the students This makes me think and think Therefore, in the process of teaching, self-learning and striving, I found the method of using mind maps in English lessons created excitement, passion for students, helping them to love learning English better In this way, both the

left and right brains or the brain's capacity are thoroughly mobilized to provide the most effective results So that they can learn how to learn English to achieve high efficiency

For the above reasons, I would like to give a small experience to improve

the quality of English lessons: "Some methods of using the mind map to improve the quality of teaching English in grade 11 at To Hien Thanh High School, Thanh Hoa City ”

1.2 Research purpose:

Study this topic to help English teachers improve the quality of teaching hours At the same time, help students love to learn English, get the vocabulary, the full grammar knowledge required by their program objectives From there, help them solve their specific requirements How is each lesson?

1.3 Research objects:

The topic focuses on the students of To Hien Thanh High School, which are mainly students in grade 11

1.4 Research Methodology:

Research methods to build theoretical basis: I myself have studied the learning reality of students, the teaching practice of teachers, and the effects of using thinking diagrams in teaching subjects documents to create certain solutions

Methods of survey and actual survey, information collection: survey the ability

to grasp knowledge of students in grades 11 at To Hien Thanh High School

Statistical methods, data processing

PART II: THE CONTENT

2.1 Theoretical basis.

For many years, teaching and learning methods have made radical changes "learners centered" Teachers are not the only ones who hold knowledge and impart knowledge but only instructors, supporters, mentors and testers …… The learner is no longer a passive person who acquires knowledge but is the center of the teaching process, actively innovating in the learning process to achieve the teaching objectives of teachers Foreign language teaching in general, English in particular, innovation

Teaching methods are very clear and important On the other hand, English is also a subject that clearly shows the relationship with many other subjects in high schools Learning English well will positively impact other

subjects and vice versa This raises the need to increase practice, reduce theory, engage with practice, attach knowledge to very rich and vivid practices of life

In recent years, the Ministry of Education and Training continuously innovates teaching methods to improve the quality of teaching and learning Literature in high schools One of the new and most modern teaching methods included is the teaching method by mind map - a new teaching method being applied by many countries around the world Through understanding and applying teaching methods by mind map, I realized that this teaching method is very effective in teaching and learning of students The first step was to reduce the mentality of hesitating to learn English, to inspire students to love the subject, and to give them new perspectives and new thinking about English subjects So how is the teaching method by mind map? How should a mind map

be used to improve the quality of English lessons in grades 11? Those are the issues I want to share with colleagues in this experience initiative

Mind map is a form of recording using colors, images to expand and deepen ideas Mind Diagram is a tool for organizing thinking, it can be described as a graphic technique with a combination of words, images, lines, colors suitable for structure and operation and the function of the brain, helping people exploit the endless potential of the brain

Mind map helps students get more effective learning methods: Training learning methods for students is not only a measure to improve teaching effectiveness but also a teaching goal In fact, some students study very hard but still learn poorly, they often learn all lessons, the second part has forgotten the previous part and do not know how to link knowledge together, do not know how to use ant Pre-learned mode in the following sections The majority of students who read books or listen to lectures in class do not know how to take notes themselves to store information, save knowledge that is focused on their memory Proficient use of mindset diagrams in teaching will help students gain

a learning method, increase independence, take initiative, create and develop thinking

Mind map - help students learn in a positive way Some research results show that the human brain will deeply understand, remember long and bold what it thinks itself, write and draw according to the knowledge learned So using the diagram Thinking helps students learn actively, maximizing the potential of the brain

2.2 Status of the problem.

2.2.1 Actual situation of the school

- The facilities, materials and funds of the school are still limited, there is

no listening room for foreign language students, students with economic difficulties, which makes it difficult to support teachers to organize for the students I go to practice in economic and tourist areas

- Children are mostly students in rural areas, do not collide in a language environment, classrooms usually have 40 or more students for an hour of foreign language learning, teachers are difficult to organize give students the opportunity to practice speaking

- Although teachers have applied a lot of tricks to support teaching hours, using electronic lesson plans at some teaching hours, but in general still have a lot of traditional characteristics, have not brought many channels of images to life for students to practice effectively

2.2.2 Current situation of students in learning English

Through observing students' English learning, most students do not have effective ways to study, students also learn a way to cope, learn only new words, not create situations to practice with you, without the usual sentence structures

of native speakers, not applying lessons in situations of life just stops on books, during school hours Their learning is limited, and most of them are no interest

in learning English

Lesson method is not scientific, not modern: Learning new words, students often have the habit of learning vocabulary by learning single words, writing and rewriting them many times without having a habit or practice words

in good context in how to associate with other words This way of learning takes

a lot of time, but the effectiveness of memorizing words is very limited, not promoting thinking, creativity and long-term memory

In general,most of students don’t choose the active learning method which affects the thinking of learning english

2.3 Sollution to the problem

2.3.1 Nature of teaching method by mind map:

Mind map is a teaching technique of organizing and developing thinking that helps learners transfer information into the brain and then be informed out

of the brain easily, and also a means of creative and effective writing fruit, expand, deepen and connect ideas, embrace ideas on a wide range

Teaching by mind map is a solution that contributes to fundamental reform of general education today The use of mind map in teaching has certain advantages:

Teaching by mind map helps students easily grasp knowledge, deepen lessons:

Students easily visualize the lesson: mind map has a lot of images for us

to visualize the knowledge to remember This is one of the most important principles of superior memory For the brain, mind map is like a big picture full

of colors, richer colors than a dry, boring lesson This helps students easily remember the knowledge they have associated with each of the different colors

on the mind map

Creating imagination and imagination in students: On each mind map, the connection between ideas is very clear Therefore, when learning by students thinking diagram, it is easy to imagine the basic knowledge to connect them together

Highlight the focus of knowledge: Instead of simple monotonous words, mind maps allow teachers and students to highlight central ideas by using colors, sizes, and images Diversity Moreover, the mind map uses many colors

to make teachers and students use their rich creative imagination to grasp the knowledge to remember in the lesson But this is not just an ordinary colorful picture, mind map helps create a theoretical, closely linked picture of what is learned together

Teaching by mind map helps develop both hemispheres at the same time

in students:

Mind maps really help children take advantage of the functions of the left and right brains while learning This is a learning tool that utilizes the power of the whole brain If used properly, it will completely liberate the potential of each student, helping "bloom" new ways of thinking in them

Methods of applying thinking diagrams in the process of teaching English 10.12 th grade in high schools

2.3.2 Teachers use mind maps to support the teaching process:

2.3.2.1 Use mind maps to teach new lessons:

The teacher gives a keyword to describe the knowledge of the new lesson and asks students to draw a mind map by asking them questions and suggestions

so they can find the characters related to that keyword and complete mind map Through the mind map, students will understand the lesson knowledge easily

Example : English 12 (period 1)

When teaching the lesson "Direct instructions and how to guide indirectly", after having students learn the example in section I teach the teacher

a branch of the mind map on the board to ask students to fill in the concept to grasp , students will fill in "Direct instructions" When the students complete the teacher draw a small branch on the branch of the previous branch and accompany the question, "How do you think is a direct guide?", Giving students

a small idea of how to lead continued Part II of the lesson also proceeded similarly, then went to a complete mind map for the whole lesson So they are more interested in class and easier to remember

English 10 (unit1)

2.3.2.2 Use mind maps to systematize knowledge after each lesson, each chapter:

After each lesson, the instructor instructs the students to self-learn the core knowledge system of the lesson by drawing a mind map Each lesson is painted knowledge on a separate page and then clamped into a set This will help them easily review and review knowledge when needed quickly and easily.English 11

2.3.2.3 Students use mind maps to support their learning process:

When Students study independently (alone), use mind maps to support learning and developing logical thinking in them:

Students can use their own mind map to support self-study at home: Learn new lessons first, reinforce and revise knowledge by drawing thinking diagrams

on paper, paperboard thereby developing ability logical thinking ability, reinforcing deep knowledge, forging skills to record lessons in children

Students directly work with computers, use Mindmap software, develop the ability to apply information technology, use computers in learning

English 11 (revision)

2.3.2.4 Mind map helps students learn actively:

Some research results show that the human brain will deeply understand, remember long and bold what it thinks itself, write and draw in its own language

so the use of mind map Help students learn actively, maximize the potential of the brain
